95-96 vs. 97-99 @sses...you be the judge!
I think most people prefer the '97+ rears on the Maxima. I personally think the '95-96 looks more aggressive, and the '97+ more sporty. Overall, I don't know which i'd pic! Love 'em both.. in the end I would probubly say when modified (red/clears) the early 4th gens come out sexiest

97 all the way. The earlier ones the tail lights are huge looking. Not to mention that humongous crease. Oh yea, and as for which year is stronger, compare:
That's low speed 5 MPH collisions from the iihs.org notice how the 97-99 shows almost zero damage?

Ok so what is the difference between "aggressive" and "sporty"...?

I love the early 4th Gens better than the new ones. They look a lot more compact, and more balanced, front and back.
The front grill of the 95-96 is really my style. I really like it. The rear end, ehh, I like it too, except for that indent near the bottom of the trunk lid. That annoys me. But what can you do? I know! Get a spoiler, that would help out a bunch, eh?

Ekk, looking at that pic, I didn't expect the 95-96 to be that bad 
I happen to like the 95-96 back end for everything else though:
1) horizontal crease
2) squarer inner tails
3) M A X I M A instead of MAXIMA
I think it just looks better, more aggresive ... my 0.02
I like the front grille better than the 97+ too.

i like the 95-96 backs better, in fact i do like the crease, it flows well, plus the 95-96 altezzas look better than those of the 97-99, the earlier having the crease follow into the taillights, while the later just being flat

I really cannot tell the difference between a 95-96 *** between a 97-99 ***. LOL, but I do like the front end of the 97-99. I think it is more sporty and smoother.
